There was the first week that I started to study in class "English for International Trade". I felt excited. And I felt bored someone who not friendly. I thought the first class was very important to me because the teacher told me about the overview and concept in course. It helps me clear more and known how to learn in course and how to do blog. I was worry how to do blog. I thought it not easy to do that because I am not good in IT. Although I felt better when I saw example of the students who ever studied in class. It is the gild line. I saw that and thought in my brain about my blog. It is hard working. But the advange of blog help me to practice in Englihs. I started to register Gmail user for to do blog. Moreover I searched the brand that I am interested and find the information which useful. For the teacher, I like teaching style. She was fun and enjoy when teaching, especially she used between Thai and English togeter. It help me more clear something which difficult. I am so happy to study in this class. I try to do it best.

There was the second week. I could adapt myself in this class. I felt better. Because of someone in the class was friendly. This week I learned next step in business. I known group work activities is so good because we can share idea and help to learn together. But someone was not friendly to me. So I was distressed. I think people who are friendly is easy to talk and to do work togerther. For my blog, I began to do that. I posted my joural and created manything that I could. I am happy to do my blog. I tried to do. Some time I had problem and tried to do again.
There was week 3. After I known more the concept in the trade and began to create blog in journals. In this week I was clear in “Business Project Guideline”. It consist of 5 main topic; rationale, company background, product strategy, promotion strategy, and reflection. After I known the topic that I must created in blog. I began to find more picture and information which concern my brand. I though if I know enough the brand information, I can used that to analysis such 4Ps strategy. I had beautiful picture from my brand but I didn’t like the background. Because of the color tone of background was dark same the picture so picture was not clearly. I will change that in next time. I had a problem about how to post video and slide show. However I tried again, again, and again. I remember that Aj Anchalee always told me, we should think “I can do it.” And we should work same ants; they work in due time. It means we should usually work, don’t speed in final time. Although this course is not easy for me but I try to do it best. At least I am happy all time with your teaching style. Thank you for your chance that can help me to do it again. I will learn success from mistake.

I learned “Marketing Mix (4Ps) strategy. It consists of product, promotion, price, and place. When we think to products, we always see a logo of products that show a value of the brand. There are many function involve in managing a product such R&D, service, support, packaging, warranty, and marketing. Next I learned product management. There are 3 steps;
1. Create customer value, it means owner of brand must find what the core value of brand is and what customers want?
2. Positioning (Unique selling point) it means how customer feel in brand? And what strength of brand? It is the position of product. Each brand sells in difference such price, quality, image, service, design, and style.
3. Branding; promise between seller and buyer by ads.
Lastly, we had group work. We roll play about interview job situation. I felt excited. I was happy in this group but someone who maybe good in English sneer my group. I know I am not the best but I tried to do that. It is not a good job. In real life only good work is not enough you should have good human relations to the others also. Finally I am happy to study with Aj Kob. I love your style.

For this week the teacher commented job interview’s group work. I was unhappy for the point because I prepared myself for job interview; found job interview question and something like that. But I am not good to entertain. For another groups I am not sure it is job interview! , it maybe mistake in the concept, right? Although I will try it best again in next work. And in the blog I changed my skin, tone of color, and head’s picture on the top. It looks better. I tried to do slide show. More I plane to do product strategy (4Ps) in next soon.

For this I was sick in Tuesday; monthly period. But I continued to ask the other in class about activities in class and homework. There had group work activity; role play situation. I will prepare with my group and I am happy for this group. And Aj Kob reviewed the lesson for the test in next week. We learn the concept of business, careers in business, the four P’S (brand and positioning), the target market, organization chart, and business grammar about negotiation (how to say politely). I thought it was so good for me because I can prepare myself for the test. I must adapt the strategy with my brand, I mean I must know the concept and can adapt to my brand. It not easy but I will read a lot for the test.
